GBN America has been investigating America's Muslim-led city in Michigan

Muslim-American activist Asra Nomani has praised GBN America's investigation into America's Muslim-led city in Michigan.

In the documentary, GBN America reporter Steven Edginton visited Dearborn in Michigan where a pro-Palestine rally recently saw calls for the "Death of America".

Speaking to GBNA, Nomani said: "Thank you to GB News and Steven for doing such a provocative and important documentary about the reality and the trenches of America.

"I grew up in America. I'm a daughter of India, born into a Muslim family and grew up in this country in the foothills of West Virginia, from where I'm now talking to you.On January 23rd, 2002, I was in Pakistan along with thousands of other journalists and my colleague was the journalist Daniel Pearl, an amazing friend who helped me understand American culture in a way that I, as an immigrant, couldn't really fathom.

She added: "He came with his wife, Marianne, who was just a few months pregnant, and then as many in the world know, Danny was tragically kidnapped from the streets of Karachi.

"We started a manhunt for Danny, and five weeks later we discovered that he had been beheaded, executed in the most brutal of ways. And this memory echoes within me, through these decades and has this particular pulse today, because so much has changed in our world.

"But everything has stayed the same because the men who kidnapped Danny and murdered him did so in the name of Islam, and using Danny's Jewish and Israeli heritage as their excuse to put a death sentence on him.

"Now we know that same narrative, that same excuse, was used to kill innocents in October 2023, in Israel.

"So much, like I said, has changed, but so much has remained the same. And what your documentary does is it captures the insidious intrusion of this phenomena that British people have known very well of these Islamists or these political Muslims who are trying to change our society and bring regressive ideas into our Western secular communities.

"I am particularly touched that your news channel and that your reporter went into the trenches here because it's the same in London, which has been called Londonistan.

"And Danny's kidnapper was raised in London and went to the London School of Economics.

"So the journey and the questions that you raise in this documentary are timeless, and they are as relevant today as they were decades ago when poor Danny was taken from this earth."
